KS1, KS2 and everything in between!
Love a good lightbulb moment? Enjoy bringing lessons to life and making a difference in the classroom? Your next Primary Teacher job could be right here in Wakefield!

Connex Education is recruiting enthusiastic and dedicated Primary Teachers for teaching jobs across Wakefield and the surrounding areas. We're looking to hear from qualified teachers interested in primary supply teaching, flexible day-to-day cover and longer-term teaching assignments.

Whether you're an EYFS, KS1 or KS2 specialist, looking for regular supply work or interested in a longer-term placement, we'd love to hear from you. With full-time and part-time Primary Teacher opportunities available, there's plenty to discuss.

What will you be getting up to?
From phonics and times tables to helping pupils discover something completely new, you'll be at the heart of the classroom.

As a Primary Teacher, you'll deliver engaging lessons across the primary curriculum, maintain a positive learning environment, manage classroom behaviour and adapt your teaching approach to support pupils with different abilities and learning needs.

Our primary teaching opportunities cover a range of school settings and assignments. For day-to-day supply teaching, schools provide lesson plans and resources, allowing you to concentrate on delivering lessons and keeping pupils engaged. Responsibilities may vary depending on the school and length of assignment.

Have you got what it takes?
We're keen to speak with teachers who are passionate about education and enjoy getting the best out of their pupils.

Ideally, you'll have:

* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

* Experience within a UK primary school setting.

* Confidence teaching in EYFS, Key Stage 1 and/or Key Stage 2.

* Strong classroom management and communication skills.

* A flexible, reliable approach and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching.

Early Career Teacher? We welcome applications from ECTs with QTS. Teachers working towards QTS are also welcome to get in touch to discuss suitable opportunities, depending on the requirements of individual assignments.

All applicants will be required to complete the relevant safeguarding and compliance checks, including an enhanced DBS check.

The Connex classroom perks!
We believe great teachers deserve great support. Here's what you can look forward to when working with Connex Education:

* Pay day, every week: £750-£950 per week, paid weekly through PAYE (based on 5 days' work), with no umbrella companies.

* Keep learning yourself: Free CPD and training opportunities through Academize.

* Your own recruitment sidekick: A dedicated education recruitment consultant to support you throughout your assignments.

* More schools, more opportunities: Access to opportunities across our partner schools and academy trusts.

* Spread the word: Our candidate referral scheme gives you the opportunity to earn rewards for recommending friends.

* A little friendly competition: Take part in candidate competitions and access additional incentives.

Ready to get your name on the register?
Your next classroom adventure could be just around the corner! Apply today and speak to Connex Education about Primary Teacher jobs, primary supply teaching and longer-term teaching opportunities across Wakefield.

Connex Education Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and candidates to share this commitment.
